5 Months

(February 11th)

At Five Months Isla:

-Has recently dropped one of her feedings and eats 5 times a day.  Usually around 5 in the morning, then back to sleep and then 4 times during the day.

-Takes three naps a day.

-Has the most sensitive skin.  Sometimes it is rough and patchy and it must itch because the second we take her clothes off she starts scratching her tummy and legs.  

-Loves grabbing her feet.

-Constantly rolls from her back to her tummy, but then she is stuck on her tummy.  She still doesn't know how to roll that direction.

-Seems to be chunking up.  She still is so long, but her thighs are really starting to get big!

-Her size 2 diapers are starting to get too tight (mostly because of her length, not weight...) and we just need to use up a few more before we can move her up to size 3.

-Loves her toys and her exersaucer.  She loves her chewy baby banana toothbrush thing.

-Gives the best, juiciest kisses! She just opens her mouth wide and presses it onto our cheeks.

-Is so happy and smiley and will pretty much smile at anyone if they talk to her.

Isla and Asher have the sweetest relationship right now.  He is so willing to help her with just about anything and loves to hold her, hug her, and kiss her.  He does not want any of her kisses though because he says they are too slobbery.  He begs to let Isla sleep in his bed with him, and when I told him that she would fall out he said that he would keep her from falling out.  He wants to protect her already and I can see that she senses that from him as well.  She lights up when she sees him and giggles and giggles at his crazy antics.   

You are just the best, baby boo.
